In this video, we'll move on to the admin control panel.

We'll create a new section in the ACP to list our notes, then implement a Filterer to build a multi-field search facility for the list, with the search parameters displayed as tokens in a useful fashion for the end user.

In Episode 6, we delve deep into the ecosystem of XenForo add-ons.

Beginning with a general overview of what add-ons are, how they work and why they are great, we move on to a live demo of producing an add-on from Kier as part of the Building with XenForo 2 video series.

Talking points around add-ons follow, before we talk about the recent release of XenForo 2.2.5, the CAPTCHA changes it brings with it and how to approach a XenForo one-click upgrade.

XenForo Insights Episode 6: All Things Add-on

$Welcome to a new series of videos taking an in-depth look at building an add-on for XenForo 2. These videos will take you step-by-step through various tools and technologies available for you to use. Part 14: If you've ever created a custom content type within XenForo you may have been tempted to add reactions (or formerly Likes) to them but perhaps been concerned that it might be difficult to implement them with your custom code, but if so, your fears were unwarranted. Reactions are a great way to improve user engagement and interaction, so let's add them to our notes! You may be surprised at just how quick and easy it is to do. Topics covered: 00:00 Introduction - adding reactions to our notes 00:24 The Reaction trait for Entities 00:56 Implementing abstract methods 01:26 Entity→canReact() 01:55 Extensions to the Entity $structure made by the Reaction trait 02:25 Calling addReactableStructureElements() from the Note Entity 03:05 Adding the Reactable Behavior to the Note Entity 04:00 The stateField for Reactable 04:10 Adding the message_state stateField to the demo_pad_note table 05:10 Identifying the stateField for Reactable 05:33 Adding the reaction fields to the demo_pad_note table 06:33 Adding the new database fields to the Setup.php script 07:18 SchemaManager→alterTable() 07:57 Grabbing the DB column definitions from XenForo code 08:54 Introduction to content type fields 09:46 'reaction_handler_class' for 'demo_pad_note' 10:09 'entity' content type field for 'demo_pad_note' (nb: should be Demo\Pad:Note not Demo\Pad\Entity\Note) 10:35 Implementing the reaction_handler_class 11:57 Adapting the profile_post_comment reaction_handler_class for notes 12:24 reactionsCounted() 12:19 getEntityWith() 13:02 Implementing the two required controller actions 13:39 assertViewableNote() 14:44 actionReact() (Applying or removing a reaction) 16:13 actionReactions() (Listing reactions for a content item) 17:56 Adding reaction controls and lists to the template 18:09 Reactions summary with xf:reactions 19:44 Reaction controls with xf:react 20:59 Demonstration of reactions Building a XenForo 2 add-on playlist: - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL71lyEf0D9ic8GyK9AoTVH2dANbVE-KVu Useful links: XenForo.com - https://XenForo.com XenForo developer documentation - https://XenForo.com/docs/dev Development environment setup guides - MacOS - https://xenforo.com/docs/dev/macos-dev/ - Windows - https://xenforo.com/docs/dev/windows-dev/ - Linux - https://xenforo.com/docs/dev/linux-dev/ - XDebug with Visual Studio Code - https://xenforo.com/docs/dev/vscode/ The XenForo 1.0 video series from 2010 - Part 1 - https://vimeo.com/16893821 - Part 2 - https://vimeo.com/17010931 - Part 3 - https://vimeo.com/17086181$
